Vacuum container

Abstract

A vacuum container comprises a body coupled with a bottom seat having an air sucking device mounted therein, the body having a micro switch electrically connected to the air sucking device, a fastener having a second lever slidably contacted with a lever of the micro switch, a first lever having a first end with a pin optionally coupled to a hole defined in the body and a second end slidably contacted with the second lever of the fastener, and a spring mounted between the second end of the first lever and a tab of the body; and a cover pivotally connected to the body and having tabs for being clamped with the fastener of the body. When the cover is closed, the air sucking device can automatically start operation to suck air from the container for keeping food fresh therein.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a vacuum container, and in particular to a vacuum container having an air sucking device automatically sucking air from the container to keep vacuum for maintaining food fresh therein.[0003]2. The Prior Arts[0004]A conventional airtight container includes a body and a cover detachably connected to the body to prevent outside air from entering into the container so as to preserve the food stored therein. However, after a period of time, outside air eventually enters into the container that will cause decomposition of the food stored therein. In order to solve the shortcoming, an improved airtight container has been introduced on the market. This type of airtight container is equipped with a manually vacuum pump and a check valve. With the provision of the vacuum pump, the air inside the container can be sucked out so as to keep vacuum for maintaining the food fresh therein.[0005...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The container ensures consistent vacuum conditions and allows users to track storage dates without compromising the container's appearance, while the ozone generator further enhances food preservation.

Problems solved by technology

However, after a period of time, outside air eventually enters into the container that will cause decomposition of the food stored therein.

However, because there is not provided with any vacuum detection device to monitor the vacuum status inside the container, users cannot know whether air leaks or not.

Accordingly, the vacuum status cannot keep uniform every time using the airtight container.

However, that will destroy the appearance of the container.
